The foreign ministers of the Arab League will convene an emergency meeting on Sunday to address a series of Iranian missile and drone attacks targeting several member states, according to the bloc’s Assistant Secretary-General Hossam Zaki.

Zaki told AFP that the meeting will be held via videoconference after a formal request was submitted by Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, and Egypt.

The urgent talks come amid rising regional tensions following a wave of missile and drone strikes launched by Iran that targeted Israel and several Gulf states as the broader Middle East conflict intensifies.

Earlier, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary-General of the Arab League, strongly condemned the attacks, describing them as unacceptable and destabilizing for the region.

“The attacks are fully reprehensible,” Aboul Gheit said, stressing that they represent not only a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter but also an assault on the principles of good neighborliness.

He warned that the strikes risk deepening tensions between Iran and its Arab neighbors, saying the attacks could create “an unprecedented state of hostility” in the region.

“This is a grave Iranian strategic mistake,” Aboul Gheit added, expressing hope that Tehran would rectify the situation by immediately halting the attacks.

According to officials, the emergency meeting will focus on assessing the security implications of the attacks and coordinating a unified Arab response to the escalating crisis.

The meeting follows a series of missile and drone attacks targeting several Gulf countries in recent days. Saudi Arabia reported intercepting missiles aimed at the Prince Sultan Air Base, which hosts U.S. personnel. Authorities also said drones were shot down near critical oil facilities, including the Shaybah oil field.

Additional incidents included attempted drone strikes on the Ras Tanura oil refinery, one of Saudi Arabia’s most important energy export hubs. Officials said air defenses intercepted the projectiles before they could reach their intended targets.

Regional governments have warned that the escalating attacks threaten both regional stability and vital energy infrastructure. The growing confrontation involving Iran, Israel, and the United States has already led to missile and drone exchanges across several Middle Eastern countries.
